  • What should be done and over with by now?

    Jump

  • Iceland pretty much runs on thermal energy. You can also use hydroelectric dams, tidal energy and wind energy. And a lot of countries are using that instead of fossil fuel. Of course, there's lunatics like Merz, who wants to literally replace renewables with nuclear, but the less said about that b-st-rd the better.

    Jump

  • Germany has just ditched green energy.

  • Here in south western Germany they will literally interrogate you if you ask for a vegetarian dish. It's insane. The dish is always Käsespätzle, by the way.

    When restaurants were posting their Valentine's menus online not a single one offered a vegetarian menu.

  • What search engine do you guys use?

    Jump

  • Quite a lot of the time. It's pretty damn awful, actually.

  • What are the under discussed risks/horror stories of Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications?

    Jump

  • There is no off ramp for other diets either. You stop, you gain weight.

  • What are the under discussed risks/horror stories of Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications?

    Jump

  • Most of the risks are caused by rapid weight loss and not eating properly, not the medication itself.

  • What do people get out of being hateful online?

    Jump

  • They want people to disagree with each other instead of sticking together.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? November 25

    Jump

  • How often do you fluff your pillows?

    Jump

  • Every night. It's a feather pillow, I toss it in the air and let it fall on the bed a few times. I think I learned that from watching Downton Abbey.

  • Human Zoo

    Jump

  • Go visit Chester Zoo, where the enclosures are so big that you often can't see the animals. It's deliberate, they want their animals to be able to hide.

    Both zoos in Berlin are a fucking disgrace, though.

  • Dadboats rule

    Jump

  • I saw one in Amsterdam called Koekblik (biscuit/cookie tin).

  • What do people get out of being hateful online?

    Jump

  • Divide and conquer. There is irrefutable evidence that they've been interfering in elections etc for more than 12 years. I learned this at a national security conference in Germany.

  • Do you still have faith in humanity?

    Jump

  • "Before" had WW2 and WW1. Now it's that but with nukes and the Internet.

  • What's the craziest/meanest thing someone has said to you or called you online. (excluding one off slurs)

    Jump

  • When I said I was a single mum I was told "Shoulda kept your legs shut, love."

    I'm a widow.

  • Are you a 'do the good part first' or 'save the best part for last' sort of person?

    Jump

  • Save the best part for last when my brothers aren't around to steal it. My family thought it was hilarious when they did that.

  • TIL pediatricians are being used as a great source of antibodies.

    Jump

  • Shame Covid doesn't work like that. You just get it 5 times a year because it's a different strain, you didn't become immune last time or you lost immunity after a couple of months. Minus 2 IQ points (on average) every time.

    And even the "normal" viruses like flu can cause problems for years.

  • cat 🐈

    Jump

  • GngngngngngGNGNG! - the cat.

  • What are some things about the past people get wrong today?

    Jump

  • Most people wore sweatshirts and cone shapes jeans. So no, no seventies clothing. I got laughed at for wearing a shirt that was distinctly seventies.

  • What are some things about the past people get wrong today?

    Jump

  • Corsets were awful: only when you tight laced, and the majority of women didn't. Corsets and stays were designed to support the boobs and smooth out clothing. That's it.

    No ankles: yes ankles. Skirts were usually above the ankles for practical reasons.

    Feudalism bad: yes and no. It meant everyone had a job and housing. Homelessness didn't exist until the end of feudalism.
